Netflix is trying something different for its its subscribers. The streaming giant is rolling out a feature designed to give users another way to discover new programming.
The service will be introducing a top 10 list that will show the most popular titles on its platform. The list, which will be dependent on country, and will update daily and popularity will be calculated every 24 hours. In addition to the overall list, there will also be lists for the top 10 films and top 10 TV shows. Both original series, movies and licensed programming will be featured in the lists.
Although the lists will provide a new level of transparency around which titles are performing well on Netflix, the streaming service will not be revealing viewership numbers. The popularity of a title will be based on Netflix’s new measurement system, which counts someone choosing to watch a title for two minutes as a view.
Netflix began experimenting with top 10 lists in Mexico and the United Kingdom last year and is now rolling the feature all over the country.
